Pleas god don't let this TASK thing catch on.

Using another 4-letter combination for a Dutch cyclist just seems to be the lamest thing I can imagine for now.

It will take away all the fun from the whole TGBM joke and it will definitely suck.

There, I said it.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

the TASK-force will eliminate you

Still, I'd like to call him Stevo.
Better than Love Boat, the name used on Podiumcafe for Kruijswijk...

 

[luckyboy]

Love Boat is the best. We should call him that.

 

[ansimi]

Thanks for the interview and translation Dekker_Tifosi

These young Rabo riders are really winning me over as a fan. I'm OK with calling him TASK because I doubt I'll be able to learn to spell his name.

I hope Cunego and the Rabo guys can put a little more time in against Levi tomorrow.

So sad about Soler

 

[boomcie]

Love Boat is the best. We should call him that.

I agree.

Time to start a poll.

 

[hatcher]

Does it need a poll? Love Boat clearly best.

 

[benpounder]

It's a shame to the sport to have that Leech called Leiphaimer finishing second in today's stage

Yeah! How dare he finish infront of all those other racers! He should have slowed up and allowed all those who couldn't keep pace to suck his wheel. Especially Mollema, how dare that puke Levi allow Bauke not to finish where he should have. Or the little prince, Levi is such a cad for dropping Damiano! And then there is Killer! Levi should have dropped back to drag Di Luca across the finish line sooner.

 

[boomcie]

Does it need a poll? Love Boat clearly best.

It does apparently. Conservative Stevo crowd is winning this. It ain't over till it's over though!

 

[taiwan]

Love Boat - nah.

What about something referring to his young appearance, like 'The Kid' or something. Yes I know he's 24.

 

[Lanark]

I didn't like the TASK name, until you came up with the TASK-force, that's too good to ignore. Besides, the TGBM jokes became stale around last year's Tour of Poland.

The jokes may have become stale, but the nickname still stands and is still very good IMO.

Well, well, well... Kruijsie is a ladies man then Good for him.

Although 'TASK-force' is indeed sheer awesomeness. One cannot ignore that nickname.

I agree. Who ever came up with The Great Belgian Maxime anyway?

 

[theyoungest]

After today, we also have to refer to a certain BMC rider as BAMF.

(Bad A$$ Matthias Frank)

 

[boomcie]

Also the SANTCUWAFLCFERITP

Super annoying need to come up with a four letter combination for every rider in the peloton.

 

[theyoungest]

Indeed. FFLA.

(F**k Four Letter Abbreviations)

Classic.

 

[Michielveedeebee]

Kruijswijk, gonna like this guy more and more.


And now? Frans Maassen said that the team would try something tomorrow because Lampre is weak in support for Cunego[/B]

“I agree, we should use our combined power in the mountains. We should not be happy with what we have now. A stage win and two riders in the top three is great, but when you're so close, you should battle for final victory. Dropping Fuglsang and Van Garderen was good today as they are very good time-trial specialists. Leipheimer however is still dangerously close. But friday waits another hard mountainstage. And then we really should try something and not wait for the final kilometre.

Gotta like the guy indeed

And that is one awesome reaction, he clearly is very ambitious and has the right mentality. and he wants to attack. Another TASK-Force member has arrived

Veedeebee noooooooooooooooo!

 

[Michielveedeebee]

Veedeebee noooooooooooooooo!

keep your friends close, keep your enemies (dutch mafia) closer

Nah I keed I'm no longer a Task-force member, right now I'm a Kruijsraket-launcher

 

[Ildabaoth]

I tend to dislike abreviations, because I use to forget them and I think they are kind of lame. But to be honest, I find TASK-force quite badass. (on the other hand, the potential fun of a "Love Boat" is undeniable)

 

[auscyclefan94]

Great ride by Kruiswijk. Hope Soler is ok. Nice ride by Matthias Frank to come back from a crash just before the inal climb and ride himself into 6th position.

(Bad A$$ Matthias Frank)

What did BAMF do?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

It's pretty bad-*** when you get back to the main group after LeoTard Prack has been riding full the entire time without looking back at that point.

Frank had to pass at least 50 guys on the climb and the group was already splintered to 8/9 man when he returned. He could sit in the wheels for maybe 2km before the attacks started at 3km to go, and he still finished 6th at only 30 seconds. That's pretty damn bad-***

Indeed. Personally I had barely noticed him before the Giro this year so I had no idea he was that talented. He could've won today if he didn't fall.
